Save the Shellfish
The Long Bay-Okura Marine Reserve in Auckland is covered with dying shellfish - and we need your help to put an end to this. The shellfish beds are decimated and soon the shore birds will be affected as their food sources decline. Marine Reserves are a place for wildlife to live and be protected, not a place to die. This Marine Reserve is a jewel in the crown of the Hauraki Gulf.
Canoe & Kayak has donated $2500.00 to kick off a fundraising campaign to Save the Shellfish.
Your donation will go directly towards helping to raise awareness with the public, developers, Auckland Council, and central Government, and contracting specialists for advice, monitoring, testing and technical support, so the Long Bay Okura Great Park Society can continue to help protect this stunning area.
Join with us and donate to make a difference - thank you for your support.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
